ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to the use of at least one hydrophobin or of a derivative thereof as a defoamer in additive compositions or fuels, to a process for defoaming fuels, to an additive and fuel composition comprising at least one hydrophobin or derivative thereof and at least one further fuel additive, and to a process for preparing at least one fuel composition.
